James Murren, Chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts speaks during a news conference following the signing by the Massachusetts Gaming Commission for the first casino license at the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Mass., Friday, June 13, 2014. The Massachusetts Gaming Commission voted unanimously to approve a deal granting MGM the casino license, pending the outcome of efforts to repeal the state's casino law. Commission Chairman Stephen Crosby said the $800 million proposal for a casino, hotel, and entertainment and shopping complex in downtown Springfield captures the "spirit" and "aspirations" that state leaders envisioned when they opened the door for resort-style casino gambling in Massachusetts in 2011.
